THE WEEKS PRACTICE
T be team, after a few days o
rest in order to get fover the effects
of the northern trip, is putting- in
some excellent work and lines
up for some hard games 'with the
"Scrubs" every afternoon.
They are missing greatly the
coaching- of Mr. Reynolds, who we
regret to say isCquite sick, but it is
hoped that he can be out soon and
get to work again. The team is
neverthelees getting1 the benefits of
rood coaching by Dr. Baskerville.
who is on the field from the begin
ning to the end of every practice.
Capt. Shull is also helping out con
siderably.
f The team is being coacnea now
J especially in the lirfe-up for kick-oft
auU aiSO in LIlCUlCiv nwinuj; vi
backs. The former is now nearing
perfection, as every man is learning
to get in the interference at the
kick-off. C Every game that they
have put up against the "Scrubs"
has been hard and fast, every
man doing the best that he knows"
how. Some beautiful tackling has
been done by Martin, Koehler and
Osborne.
The kicking game has been
practiced considerably and it is be
lieved by all that the ' Varsidy can
hold her-own in this line, as Graves
is doing some long distance punt
ing And in every way are the last
year's Champions of the South bet
ter preparing themselves to carry
off the same laurels this year.
They go to Atlanta next week con
fident that they will come back as
they did last year, entirely the
victors; but still they know that
this time they must fight harder for
it and againstteams much stronger
than those met last season.
The team has no games between
now and Thanksgiving game with
Georgia, and the whole time will be
taken up with bard games with the
"Scrubs." This week's practice is
all that can be gotten in as they
leare Monday night. So if the
student body wishes to show the
team that they are behind them let
them come out every afternoon this
week and applaud every good play.

by the faculty and more thought

be adopted whereby the more im

and some of the best of literature!
could be brought

to take steps necessary to

chairman of the meeting, Mr. K. K.

his untimely end caused great sor

expressed for his bereaved family.!
He was liked by all and was one of
the most popular members of his
class. He registered here this year,
having been at Horner's for the
considerable discussion as to neces-

sary organization, suoject matter)
or discussion, time of meeting etc.,:
was decided to meet, for the1
present at least, but once a month,!
on the third Tuesday night, the
irogramme to consume one hour,!1;
the ofrir.ers to be elected setni.'tn-l
nually, and the committee to ar
range the monthly programmes.
The name chosen was The Univer

For the first meeting the state'of
affairs in the Transvaal was cho
sen as the topic for discussion, and
in order to present the matter
clearly it was thought best to pre
cede the discussion by a resume of
the history and topograpical fea
tures of that country. Dr. Lins
cott will give this. President Al
derman will lead the discussion in
the presentation of the British
view and Mr. Kluttz that of the
Boers. As the literary feature of
programme. Dr. Alexander and Mr.
Bernard will take up one or two
books whose scene and incident are
related to the question discussed.
This is the programme as ar
ranged by the committee but!
though they have done much, theja
success of. the first meeting and ofjfl
the movement will not depend
upon them, but upon the active co
operation of everyone who is inter

Practical Value of X Ray Machine.
The practical value of the X Ray
Machine, which forms part of the
equipment of the Physical Depart
ment, has recently been demonstat-
ed several times under Prof. Gore's
'skillful direction. Among other
services that have been rendered
two or three deserve special mention.
Mr. Sparrow, living near Chapel
Hill was accidentally shot in the'
thigh. Probing could not locate
the bullet. But this was accomp

a foot seriously hurt during 'the.
